Title: Conditioning new Sony L Series batteries....
Post by: baustin on December 31, 2006, 12:00:51 PM

So I searched around here a bit and didn't see anything....

Just picked up 2 new Sony NPF-970 6600mah batteries from Cascade Media. I've been trying to find the correct way to break these guys in. Parker from Sonic Sense recommended 6 full power cycles (ie - charge fully then drain fully in the 744t 6 times). The box says that these batteries have 'No Memory Effect'.

Any advice?
